To replace the timing belt on a Fiat Punto, lift the car to remove the front right wheel and the inner cover of the wheel arch. This will allow you to loosen the rear roller, reducing the tension on the belt.

Next, access the engine bay to loosen the bolts on the other rollers, enabling you to slide the belt out of its housing. Once the old belt is removed, install a new one by refitting all previously removed parts.
